Match Thread Crewe v Blackpool

Madine works in Yates on the run down the right centre towards box and clipped for a free kick

Robson free kick bounces and keeper catches easily.
 
If you could stop the game now I'd have a point. Just need to come away from this with something now.

This isn't a team set up in any way to suit Madine but he's worked his arse off today. Every credit to him
 
Williams best game gives us some stability but he consistently passes backwards and no shooting boots.

Is Virtue anywhere near fit?
 
A more positive display but Crewe were no great shakes. It is concerning the lack of enough efforts on goal or getting into their box, despite all our approach play. We looked more dangerous for 10 minutes when we scored and we were more direct and got into the box. Defence were not marking their men for their goal and we are still susceptible to being hit on the break. At least we have stopped the losing run
 
happy with that another point in the relegation battle don’t think we’ll get owt out of the Charlton game
 
That'll do. Shoulders started to drop and they looked like they were waiting for the inevitable 1-0 to become 2-0 but swapping the wingers over and Turton not having anyone in his way down the right to get a proper cross in for Madine to go for with someone in box to follow up and they managed a goal.

Yates got nowty with ref and booked just before that and thought he was going to see red after it, had all sorts of visions in my mind of a collapse out of nowhere so relieved to see it out and have a point.
